From "In an Era of Deep Polarization, Unity Is Not Trump’s Mission/President Trump does not subscribe to the traditional notion of being president for all Americans" by Peter Baker, in the NYT.
Who is taking an accurate measure of the consistency and ferocity of the divisiveness of the various Presidents?
My prompt to ChatGPT: "What are the most ferociously divisive things Presidents have said in all of American history? Give me a top 10, with just the quotes, not the explanations."
The list:
1. John Adams (1798): “If the people ever let the Democrats rule, the country will be deluged with the floodgates of immorality.”
2. Andrew Jackson (1834): “The Bank is trying to kill me, but I will kill it! … They would destroy our institutions and corrupt our free government.”
3. Abraham Lincoln (1860 campaign): “You cannot be for slavery and for freedom. The two are incompatible; the one must perish.”
4. Grover Cleveland (1888): “Party success means party loyalty, and party loyalty means hostility to the enemy.”
5. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1936): “Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.”
6. Harry Truman (1948 campaign): “The Republicans … have begun to nail the American consumer to the wall with spikes of greed.”
7. Lyndon B. Johnson (1964): “The Republican Party feeds a fox every night to harass the nation’s chickens.”
8. Richard Nixon (1972): “The press is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The enemies must be understood.”
9. George W. Bush (2001): “You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists.”
10. Donald Trump (2020): “The radical left is trying to destroy our country. If they win, America will be a socialist hellhole.”
2. Andrew Jackson (1834): “The Bank is trying to kill me, but I will kill it! … They would destroy our institutions and corrupt our free government.”
3. Abraham Lincoln (1860 campaign): “You cannot be for slavery and for freedom. The two are incompatible; the one must perish.”
4. Grover Cleveland (1888): “Party success means party loyalty, and party loyalty means hostility to the enemy.”
5. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1936): “Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.”
6. Harry Truman (1948 campaign): “The Republicans … have begun to nail the American consumer to the wall with spikes of greed.”
7. Lyndon B. Johnson (1964): “The Republican Party feeds a fox every night to harass the nation’s chickens.”
8. Richard Nixon (1972): “The press is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The enemies must be understood.”
9. George W. Bush (2001): “You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists.”
10. Donald Trump (2020): “The radical left is trying to destroy our country. If they win, America will be a socialist hellhole.”
ADDED: That was the ChatGPT list. I'd written Grok before, because I actually asked Grok first, but it was taking so long that I brought ChatGPT into the search. Eventually, Grok came through, but its first effort was all about racial division, such as Woodrow Wilson saying "Segregation is not a humiliation but a benefit, and ought to be so regarded by you gentlemen" and Lincoln's "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races." I got more specific and Grok made a list that had things on it that weren't even ferocious, like "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so" (Ronald Reagan). So that's it for Grok on this little project.

Funny. No mention of Biden calling half of the country a threat to democracy.
The first one and last one are the most accurate and cogent about the nation's history and current struggles.
Peter Baker is such a disingenuous reporter. He has only 1 objective. To slam Trump in any way and every way possible.
Leftists: “Yeah, we call all of you Nazis, bigots, racists, homophobes, etc. Yeah, some kid listening to us killed one of your leaders and another just missed killing Trump. Yeah, transexuals have gone into schools and churches to kill kids. You people need to calm down before some of US get hurt!”
Barack Obama: bitter clingers, albinophobia, sit down and shut up, redistributive change.
Bill Clinton: safe and rare, inferior superior exploitation,don't ask-don't tell.
Democracy is a majoritarian system.
When a group takes power and act in a disgusting, even murderous manner like the Soviets, Nazis or Maoists, I wonder if any of them actually see themselves as bad people? Of course saying so would likely get you killed, so we don't hear of it, but I wonder if any even consider it, or is self-righteousness that powerful?
I bet the two times democrats impeached Trump was never mentioned.
ChatGPT is an ethical automaton.
To Hillary we were deplorables. To Biden we were garbage. To everyone on the left we were nazis.
The Left is in mop up mode. It's not going to help. Their dirty, filthy water of EVIL is all over the floor for all to see.
Alinsky's Rule # 13
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and POLARIZE it.” Focus on a specific opponent, isolate them, and make them the symbol of the issue."
Quod erat demonstrandum.
Richard Nixon was right.
Democratic Socialism with DEIst philosophy, abortive ideation, political congruence, Dreams of Herr Mengele, publishes/brays handmade tales, redistributive change schemes. Deja vu. No, thank you.
Hey Democrats ... haven't you gotten the FUCKING MESSAGE YET?
We're DONE with you people. Get the fuck out of OUR country.
Trump is OUR President. He is not your President and he doesn't want to be because you're all a bunch of psychopathic assholes.
Fuck OFF.
I never pay any attention to Peter Baker.
Perhaps Mr. Baker ought to look inside himself and assess his own role in "practicing the politics of division." Physician, heal thyself.
And Biden as "uniter" is perhaps the most absurd thing I've read in a long time.

Does ChatGP have a really short memory?
Excellent more civility bullshit to ignore and another name to add to the list of cowards.
Put everyone who floats this garbage on a list of dishonest shitheads and intellectual cowards who will forever be ignored.
“…none of them practiced the politics of division as ferociously and consistently as Mr. Trump...."”
Another way of saying the same thing is ‘only Trump could and has gone toe to toe with the Democrats’. I will never forget that first term scene in the Oval Office when Trump had Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi wishing Trump would hush the press away so they could later spin the heck out of their discussion with Trump. Good times.
Joseph R. Biden Jr. called for ending 'this uncivil war.'
While prosecuting lawfare against his opponents.
None of them succeeded at achieving such lofty aspirations, and each of them to different degrees played the politics of division at times.
Trump is forthright about "dividing" the 80% from the 20% as he gains support across all demographics to the consternation of his opponents.
Reflexively, the Democrats embrace those same divisions as they watch their constituencies shrink.
Anne-I-Am said..."Funny. No mention of Biden calling half of the country a threat to democracy."
+1
Biden put 1000 J6ers in jail. He tried to put Trump in jail and called Trump a nazi-sympathizer. Hillary started the Russiagate hoax and lied about Trump being "Putin's puppet and a Russian asset".
Its been standard procedure for every Democrat POTUS and Democrat POTUS candidate to call Republicans "racist". As for Truman, he was running around in 48 and 52 calling Repubicans nazis and fascists. FDR was pulling the same trick in 40 and 44.
The fact is that Nixon tried to get along with the "liberal establishment" in 69. He had an unrequited love for them. Its only after the MSM and the Liberal Establishment made it clear that there would be no let up in the attacks, that he let Buchanan write the attacks for Agnew.
Democrats:
* We don't want to be your friends.
* We don't want to fuck you.
* We don't want to date you.
* We don't want to work with you.
* We don't want to hire you.
* We don't want to live next door to you.
* We don't want you here any more.
GET. THE. FUCK. OUT.
If you pop off on social media, we are going to hunt you down and end your career. But that's not all. You're going into a database of toxic non-hires. We're going to follow you everywhere you try to go for work. Our intent is to ensure that you life a LIFETIME of poverty.
So if you know what's good for you, you'll get the fuck out of the United States.
Nobody wants you here any more.
Funny. No mention of Biden calling half of the country a threat to democracy.
And not in an offhand or unscripted moment, but a highly produced, publicly-broadcast, special prime time Presidential address with the Marines featured prominently in the background.
Biden said he had F-15s.
Shorter Peter Baker: Will someone please shoot this guy? I mean, enough already. Bang! Bang!
THe MSM never lets up. They never stop attacking Trump and/or the rightwing. And whenever anyone hits back, no matter feebly, they pretend its the most vicious thing ever, ever. And cry about it...forever. They're STILL talking about Joe McCarthy.
It must work, because all they have to do is cry and zillions of conservatives rush over to pat their hand and go "There, there". I was just reading that cuck conservative Matt Schlapp and of course he wants to us to "stop the division and come together". He was more angry at J6 than he was at a leftist killing Charlie Kirk.
Excellent more civility bullshit to ignore and another name to add to the list of cowards.
The civility bullshit tag must be in overdrive.
BTW no one got more vicious attacks than Herbert Hoover. And no one tried to be nicer and reasonable to his opponents. But then Hoover wasn't a politician he was an Engineer Businessman. Ike was another "Take the High Road" guy.
As a litigator, I have dealt with conflict for almost five decades. Usually, conflicts have features that lend themselves to negotiation and, thus, compromise. Conflict that is non-negotiable typically involves a dispute that goes to the core of each side's identity. People can't compromise because doing so would negate their essential selves. I worry that we collectively have found ourselves in a non-negotiable dispute.
It's hard to be President of all the people when 40% or more of the population has been persuaded by their leaders that you deserve the Bolsonaro treatment. Thanks Ed Markey et al.
“Trump is forthright about "dividing" the 80% from the 20%”
The reality, as opposed to Baker’s civility batshittery. Isolating the hysterical. It’s generous of them to cooperate so enthusiastically.
Bush the elder tried 'kinder and gentler' and got rolled by George Mitchell (who always played for keeps -- sort of a more polished New England Harry Reid for those who don't remember.) Bush the younger repeatedly turned the other cheek when his opponents called him 'Bushitler.'
We have decades of experience telling us that being nice to the Democrat Party and the Left simply makes you a sucker at best and a victim at worst. It's a shame, but it's reality.
Lem at 12:06. Exactly
Bush the younger's quote was not directed at American's I don't think. It appears the AI did very poor research having missed key divisive statements of modern dem presidents and misrepresenting Rep presidents.
"... [B]eing nice to the Democrat Party and the Left simply makes you a sucker at best and a victim at worst.
It will get you shot right in your face while your wife and kid are sitting 10 feet from you.
Then Democrats will then laugh at their pain and mock them on Bluesky.
Democrats are psychopaths. Separate yourself from them. Do not help them. Ostracize them from your community. Banish them from your churches, your synagogues and your mosques.
They should move to Ireland and live with Rosie O'Donnell and the other fat lesbians.
There seems to be a logic failure here. If you take a country that is divided 50/50 and convert it to one that is 80/20, haven't you massively REDUCED the division?
Am I missing something?
"Joseph R. Biden Jr. called for ending 'this uncivil war.'"
AND Joe Biden also claimed Trump said the KKK were "good people". Clear, compelling video evidence showing Biden was lying made no difference. And Biden repeated this horrible lie again and again through the whole of his presidency.
I'm sure Mr. Baker called out this lie each and every time it spewed forth from Biden's mouth.
As the internet taught me, Mr. Baker can eat a bag of dicks. Make sure it's the Costco family size.... on a two for one sale.
I can only note that European governments, the ones that hate Trump and insist on indulging the gentlemanly pursuit of killing men women and children in the most civilized manner, that is by putting working class young men in airplanes or alongside artillery pieces to do the job, are facing major problems keeping the proles, who should be seen and not heard, quiet.
A million people turned out in London to protest the policies that are destroying their lives, only to be labeled “far-right” by the media. How out of touch can you get, we are finding out.
"If you take a country that is divided 50/50 and convert it to one that is 80/20, haven't you massively REDUCED the division?"
Don't ask the fucking retarded Democrats to do math, bro.
There's a reason why they are Women's Studies majors and not engineers.
“ none of them practiced the politics of division as ferociously and consistently as Mr. Trump.”
We liked it a lot better before the people we have been oppressing got an effective leader.
https://time.com/3765158/harry-reid-mitt-romney-no-taxes/
Dems say If you agree with us, we have met halfway in the great traditions of our country. If you don't agree with us you are haters and racists and fascists of the worst sort and, frankly, worse than Hitler.
Reductio ad Hitlerem. Dems never fail to do it. Truman did it to Dewey.
The GOP response is, have you ever heard of Godwin's Law? (Note: Mike Godwin attempted to backtrack in 2024, the little creep)
"A million people turned out in London to protest the policies that are destroying their lives, only to be labeled “far-right” by the media."
I was hoping somebody would mention this because there were two huge rallies like this in two different countries, with diametrically opposing outcomes.
In the UK, up to a million people marched in the streets. Peacefully.
In Nepal, up to a million people marched in the streets and they burnt their government out. They burned down the Congress.
Guess which country has a new government?
Democrats aren't going to go away if we just ask them to nicely.
I just had an interesting discussion with Grok. Here are the prompts:
What are the most ferociously divisive things Presidents have said in all of American history?
-----------------------------
how come you did not include Joe bidens remarks that maga republicans were a threat to the foundations of our democracy?
-----------------------------
how can you ignore Biden's remark in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination and the 2 attempts to assassinate Trump?
-----------------------------
why do you refuse to connect Biden's speech to leftists trying to kill Trump and killing kirk because Biden called them threats to the republic?
-----------------------------
You say [I quoted grok back to itself]
"Evidence Against Direct Link: The suspect, Tyler Robinson (a 22-year-old from a Republican family, radicalized online with possible Groyper ties), criticized Kirk as "full of hate" but showed no clear leftist ideology or reference to Biden's speech."
but all evidence points to Tyler Robinson being a radical leftist who lived with his trans partner and referred to trump as a fascist,
how do you reach this conclusion?
The response:
"I'll break down how I reached my initial conclusion, why it needs updating, the current evidence (drawing from official statements, affidavits, and credible reporting), and how this fits into the broader context of our discussion on political violence, phenomenology, and ideology. My goal is truth-seeking: conclusions must evolve with evidence, not speculation."
"Funny. No mention of Biden calling half of the country a threat to democracy."
Nor siccing the DoJ on parents at school board meetings.

Am I missing something?
The only thing you are missing is that it is more like 60/40 and the 60% has far more guns.
In these situations it always ends up 80/20 and this is a historical norm. That is just how social contracts are formed.
One thing I will say for LLMs is that they are much more self aware than the average human.
"Bush the younger's quote was not directed at American's I don't think. It appears the AI did very poor research having missed key divisive statements of modern dem presidents and misrepresenting Rep presidents."
Forget it, Jake. It's AI.
What is there to say about Peter Baker and the NYT? Baker is a career liar. A maneuverer of facts. We'll leave some out here. Add some we know to be false there. Refuse to acknowledge others even happened.
He does this regularly and has done this for years.
It has not been that long since Joe Biden's infamous 'Red Speech' in which the networks carried the message, and the press dutifully repeated the message, that half the nation is a danger to the other half of the nation. Hmm. Makes one wonder what could come of talk like that?
Anyway...good times: Red Speech.
I would have thought ChatGPT reads Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_the_Soul_of_the_Nation_speech
Didn’t Baker or one of his NYT compatriots call George Bush literally worse than Hitler.
That is when they were not calling him a chimp and a coward and making up lies about his TNG service.
The FBI is investigating every nook and cranny after the shooting. Are those slurs?
"In the UK, up to a million people marched in the streets. Peacefully."
Police put it a 3 million. The arial video is incredible. The crowd goes on and on.
Left-stream media was claiming 100,000.
Formerlawclerk Try to enjoy your Sunday. Watch some football. Say hi to a stranger. Read the comics.
What a load of bullshit this article is.
"Formerlawclerk Try to enjoy your Sunday."
When the war is over I will. But thanks for the sentiment. Looking forward to victory.
File this article under: It's only bad when Trump does it.
Plus, I would have included Obama's famous, "If they bring a knife, we bring a gun" quote.
I remember when the left called W a chimp, but everybody went on with life. Then Rosanne Barr called Valerie Jarrett an ape, and she was killed off the show she created.
Teachers are showing their students Charlie Kirk's assassination video and explaining to the students why Charlie Kirk had it coming and how they can avoid getting shot and killed.
There will be no Sundays off in my future until the war is over.
https://nypost.com/2025/09/14/us-news/teacher-allegedly-showed-charlie-kirk-assassination-video-to-young-students/
“ Watch some football. Say hi to a stranger. Read the comics.”
In other words, ignore that man behind the curtain! We promise to come for you last.
The mainstream media is already spinning the transvestite lover as some sort of hero in all this - instead of his true role as a co-conspirator.
Daily Mail: "Discord messages sent by the alleged killer, who was listed as 'Tyler', reportedly mentioned how he had wrapped his rifle in a towel and stashed it in some bushes near Utah Valley University, where Kirk was shot. The messages helped investigators find and arrest Robinson for the assassination.
This is PATENTLY false. Neither the FBI, nor local police "found" Robinson and arrested him. His father drove him to a police station and turned him in. The FBI couldn't find its own ass if it tried.
Now I'll give the Daily Mail some credit. They at least reported that the FBI tried to hide the transvestite's identity from the American people.
Will Trump and MAGA Republicans stop labeling their political adversaries as radical left Marxists who hate God, oppose Christianity, despise America, rig elections, aim to replace Americans with criminal migrants, and seek to kill babies? When will this rhetoric end?
"People have got to stop framing simple policy disagreements in terms of existential threats to our democracy. You can't call the other side fascists and enemies of the state and not understand that there are some deranged people in our society who will take that as cues to act." ~ Speaker Mike Johnson
And I suppose Obama speaking of the “fundamental transformation of America” wasn’t divisive at all…
Teachers are showing their students Charlie Kirk's assassination video and explaining to the students why Charlie Kirk had it coming and how they can avoid getting shot and killed.
Not "teachers", a teacher, and not even in the U.S. Let's blame Canada.
Of course, this is how bullshit starts. One teacher in a foreign country does a really stupid and bad thing and by next week you will be claiming it is schools all over the country (especially the ones that have kiddie pools filled with kitty litter instead of regular restrooms)
This is the Democrat's way of promoting unity: "Hey you unruly neonazis, shut up and get on board!"
I honestly do not remember any heartfelt appeals by Obama. Maybe some posing as such for his supporters who feel that we are illegitimate voices who are beneath contempt.
"Of course, this is how bullshit starts.."
I bookmarked your comment to play back to you, you do this all the time.
"For more, or if you haven't already had my message pounded into you enough, read the book I wrote with my wife, 'The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021' ..."
Obama spoke about no red states or blue states when he was running for president, not after he had secured the office. Whether or not he was an active divider as president, he wasn't an active uniter, and that 2004 statement isn't representative of his rhetoric as president.
I think we pretty clearly have Biden's "Triumph of the Will" speech in Philadelphia as an example of presidential speechifying that is more divisive than Trump's. Biden's vice presidential "Gonna put you all back in chains" was an example of where we were going with Biden. Harry Truman's rhetoric when he was concerned about losing the election was another example of divisive rhetoric, and it worked. And of course, there were the early days of the republic with the fights between Adams and Jefferson. Jefferson was a very divisive character during his rise to the presidency. If he's not on AI's list, it may be because he was too timid to speak much in public.
I'm reminded of the early 1970s. There was a lot of "divisive" talk back then, but Nixon could count on most Democrats not being on the side of the radicals. Trump can't. That accounts for the difference in their rhetoric. I'm also reminded of the aftermath of Charlottesville, when President Trump commented that there were "very fine people" on both sides of the Confederate statues conflict -- explicitly excluding neo-Nazis. How did that effort to bind the nation's wounds work out for DJT?
It's a good idea for every incoming president to give a rhetorical shot across the bow to the media, pointing out that they aren't what they've come to believe they are. That's going to ensure a lot of bad press, but the country thrives on an opposition between presidents and the press (at least until bureaucrats join up with the press to successfully take down a president).
Will Trump and MAGA Republicans stop labeling their political adversaries as radical left Marxists who hate God, oppose Christianity, despise America, rig elections, aim to replace Americans with criminal migrants, and seek to kill babies? When will this rhetoric end?
****
When the libs are all living under a bridge in a cardboard box and fighting over the last rat.
So we are not allowed to notice when elections are obviously rigged? Why is that Federal Judge in Georgia keeping that 140K tranche of ballots from being inspected?
Why did Colorado pass a law making validating the results of an election a crime?
Why wasn't Arizona open and forthcoming about their procedures when plainly, somebody changed the printer settings just prior to Election Day in heavily Republican districts to make their ballots look right, but unreadable by the machines, for example.
Straightforward answers to these questions and some sunshine in the vote count would go along way, but I'm sorry, you did explain it, you said "shut up."
"Why is that Federal Judge in Georgia keeping that 140K tranche of ballots from being inspected?"
Because he knows he'll get his ass strung up, that's why. They all know it. They're one inch from an actual hot firing Revolution in the United States and they're all going to be burned at the stake, and they know it.
You will NEVER see those fake ballots.
The funny thing about Arizona was that the elections were run by the Democratic candidate for governor, and there was a "heat map" showing heavily Republican districts, right where the printer problems showed up.
The neat thing about messing with printer settings is that you don't need to bypass secured networks, you can do it via bluetooth, or with a script that will get past security since it is done by a "systems administrator."
Here are some documented examples, Freder:
A U.S. Marine was fired for a social media post saying “Another racist man popped,” along with emojis.
An Oregon teacher (middle school teacher in Neil Armstrong Middle School) was placed on paid administrative leave for saying his day was “brightened” by Kirk’s murder in a Facebook post.
A member of the New Orleans Fire Department allegedly posted that the bullet that hit Kirk was “a gift from god.” The department said the comment was “insensitive” and under investigation.
A Texas football coach (also a teacher) in Klein ISD was fired for social media posts about Kirk’s killing that were judged “controversial” by the district.
A teacher in Midland Independent School District in Texas was placed on administrative leave for remarks in class about Kirk’s death, which appeared to celebrate it.
A school resource officer in Somers, Westchester County, New York, was removed for social media posts celebrating or joking about Kirk’s death.
There are many, many more. And they are your people.
"Shut up," Kaka explained.
There are no "blue states."
They are "secessionists."
Illinois, California, New York, Minnesota ... etc.
Trump should declare war against these corrupt Democrat states, and return them to rule under the US Constitution.
Lincoln did it.
Why can't Trump muster the courage?
Also, any voting software should have bulletproof logs. I worked on software that did far less important stuff, and if you didn't have a bulletproof system to log administrative actions, it was not considered "fit for service," but somehow this is not required for voting software. Why not?
"Shut up," he explained.
“ And of course, there were the early days of the republic with the fights between Adams and Jefferson.”
The funny things there, historically, are that while Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence, Adams helped proof it, and was the one who sold it. And they died the same day.
"by next week you will be claiming it is schools all over the country
They're already doing it all over the country, Freder.
Now spend a lot of your time refuting my allegation.
And you'll see how the left spins the wheels of the right.
You're right. This is how it starts. You just make up a lie - any lie - and then the other side has to respond. They have to waste their time responding. Like you're doing.
We watched you. We listened to you. We read the rules that ya'll wrote. And now we're playing your game with you. And we're going to beat every one of you. Using your rules. Against you.
So fuck off. Get out of our country, asshole.
Just words. Just speeches.
They shot Trump.
I bookmarked your comment to play back to you, you do this all the time.
Do what? Point out when you all are spewing bullshit? I will take that as a compliment. FLC specifically said "teachers are showing their students" the video. He posted a link to support his contention. But if you read his cite, it was one teacher in Toronto.
Trump should carpet bomb all of the cities that aren’t gnashing their teeth and sobbing loud enough in their mourning of Charlie Kirk.
- MAGAt Braintrust
What I am saying Freder, is that you use one offs to characterize MAGA all the time. I am not going to search one up, but next time you do it, I will call you on it.
Well Hag, Biden essentially threatened to do just that when he told Americans he had F-15s to use against Americans. But Trump has never said anything close to that. In fact, Biden made that threat based on the left’s lie on what Trump said at Charlottesville.
And what about the examples I gave, Freder?
How could you leave off that they both died on the 4th of July? Or that's what the history books say. Maybe Adams heard that Jefferson died on the 4th and said "Hold my beer!"
"Trump should carpet bomb all of the cities that aren’t gnashing their teeth and sobbing loud enough in their mourning of Charlie Kirk."
No, he should use a neutron bomb. Such a bomb kills the people, but leaves the infrastructure for plundering. It emits high levels of neutron radiation, which essentially microwaves the people to death, but doesn't knock any buildings down or destroy all the valuable cars and stuff.
We've had this technology since 1960 and spent a lot of US taxpayer dollars creating the bomb.
Trump just needs to dust some off. He could unite the country by eliminating the bad half and leaving all their houses and stuff for the rest of us to use.
Solves the housing crisis. Solves the homeless crisis. Solves the drug crisis.
It's really the best all-in-one solution there is. And I'm already on Truth Social pinging him with this idea. It's really cool to be able to talk to Trump directly and then wait a few days and watch my words start coming out of his mouth on Fox & Friends.
Yes, what Biden supposedly said is terrible.
Remember when Biden had his masked storm troopers stuff people in vans without any process?
What a fascist piece of shit. His followers have no bottom for cheering that on.
Remember "Dark Brandon" where he posted two US Marines in full uniform behind him while he gave his speech from a podium, and with lighting and set design that was plainly reminiscent of the Nazi "Reichsadler." What the hell was that about?
Peter Baker : "Can someone rid me of this troublesome republican"
Hag, Are you suggesting that we eliminate all immigration laws or we are far. right nazis? Talk about inflammatory rhetoric! If we try to enforce the laws duly passed by Congress, we are nazis? I guess that assassination is too good for us, then, is that what you are implying?
Tell me again how”unity” should be our goal. Don’t we chose between two candidates who have different views of where we are and where we need to go?
Obama et al affirmatively divided Americans. Trump rhetorically divided, and actively united Americans. Automatons decode and present prevailing handmade tales for consumption by Anthropogenic Intelligence (AI). It's like an episode of The Outer Limits set in The Matrix.
Yes, anything short of rounding people up and disapearing them with no process is not enforcing immigration laws.
Tell me again how”unity” should be our goal.
It's not. The claim is we live in a democracy. Perhaps they are correct.
”Funny. No mention of Biden calling half the country a threat to democracy.”
One must keep in mind the criteria Althouse provided to the AI engine. ChatGPT never mentioned Biden because it operates on the assumption that Joe Biden was never POTUS.
Except they are going through a process. That is why the Florida Alcatraz existed. It was holding until processing could be completed and extradition occurred. You know about it, so it isn’t “disappearing” them either.
Not satisfied to live in a democracy, with progress, a DEImocracy that entertains abortive ideation to protect its selfie virtue, special and peculiar interests, and other purposes.
History reverberates in a catastrophic cacophony.
I find it fascinating that Adams's quote is as accurate today as it was 227 years ago. Dude was a visionary.
Our goal should not be unity under ethical principles, but reconciliation under moral principles. It should not be democracy, but a representative republic under a Constitution that mitigates authoritarian, Diversity, congruent, redistributive progress.
FLC. -Trump gets his talking points from you? That explains so much. Thanks!
"anything short of rounding people up and disapearing them with no process"
So they are being deported "unless they claim asylum and pass an interview with a U.S. asylum officer" per CBS News, and this is claimed to be "without due process." And yet of the hundreds of thousands of undocumented Democrats, err, I mean deportees, only seven are known to have turned out to be US citizens, oh wait, not deported, but detained. Lot's of people not proven guilty of crimes get detained on suspicion of this or that, but that doesn't seem like a huge number.
So I guess you are saying that unless this process can achieve absolution perfection, we should abolish immigration laws.
Ok, that’s irrefutable logic. I know where Auschwitz is, therefore nothing horrible or morally reprehensible happened there.
So you area calling the people enforcing Congress's immigration laws Nazis and comparing sending them home to sending them to Auschwitz, but not calling for the measures that, were these things you say are true would be called for, such as violent resistance.
Got it.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox has been a valuable public voice, addressing the situation with clarity and composure, aiming to promote reconciliation. This stands in stark contrast to Trump's approach.
/Cox said that social media has played a “direct role” in fueling political violence in the US, as the country grapples with the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a college in the state last week.
“I believe that social media has played a direct role in every single assassination and assassination attempt that we have seen over the last five, six years,” Cox said on Sunday.
Cox, a Republican, has spoken out strongly against social media companies in the wake of the killing and has likened the addictive nature of their algorithms to drugs. “It took us a decade to realise how evil these algorithms are,” he said./ ~ FT
Lincoln 1858
"A house divided against itself cannot stand. ...This nation connot continue to exist half slave and half free."
Based on these quotes, I think Lincoln was the most divisive President ever while he is also the President who held the Union together even as he resolved the slavery issue.
I think we now have a dispute about whether socialism can or cannot achieve economic justice in a society if it is allowed a completely free hand. Those who have observed the actual effects of socialism since 1917 are clear that socialism is government of the people, by the grifters, for the grifters and that it always involves murder, torture, arrest and banning of free speakers. We see it behaving in its familiar way. On the other hand, those young chuckleheads who move phone in hand through a digital dream imagine that 21st century socialism will be like an Amazon series; that they'll just watch as the evil are detected, outsmarted and punished and then the series gets a million likes and send out for pizza. Older grifters circle about these tourists of their own time abducting sons and daughters and forming them into armies of the enslaved, human robo-killers, zombie teachers, mutilated men and women who show off their mutilations as if they were diamonds, armies of the petty who spend their short human lives on spite and malice and applause for any murders committed on any lefty pretext.
How will it all end? A Great Awakening?
Unity to the left = bow to them.
The Adams quote has the look of an AI hallucination. He did not have a reputation for the sort of verbal incompetence which could produce such a botchery as "deluged with the floodgates of immorality".
To be clear, I’m calling masked men detaining brown people and jettisoning them off to random nations to which they have no affiliation to be acting in an authoritarian and cruel manner and yes, it’s fascism.
I’m calling the people who cheer it on, MAGAts.
When someone reads this a loud to you, I hope you understand.
